Newtown marked the count down to Christmas with a spectacular fireworks display on Saturday evening (November 30).

The show, created by Lightworks FX, from Meifod, followed a production of 'A Christmas Carol' on High Street by Rebel Alliance theatre group.

Thousands then turned out to see the lights switched on at 7pm and the fireworks display.
